I’m a professional photographer and keen fell runner who absolutely loves the Lake District.

Having faced some health challenges over the years, I’m eager to share the positive impact that spending time outdoors in nature can have on our physical and mental well-being.

Excited to be part of the Active Root team for a second year!

I started running just a few years ago (late to the game) and I’m at my happiest on the trails, up on the South Downs and usually covered in mud. Never take it seriously just out there to have fun!

My name is Paul Barr and I am a keen trail runner. I started off my running on my local trails which then progressed to running the Scottish Munros and taking part in ultra marathons.

 I always use Active Root to keep me fuelled on my adventures and can’t wait to work with the team.

I got back into running in my 30s when I started jogging with my terrier. Things have rather spiralled over the last few years and I have now competed for the British team in canicross and fallen in love with ultra running!

I’m currently trying to build my strength as a hill climber for some exciting race targets ahead.

I’ve always been passionate about both fitness and nutrition. As someone who loves pushing my limits in ultra endurance running, I understand how important it is to stay fuelled and recover properly.

The right nutrition can make all the difference, and I’m excited to share my journey to inspire and support others.

I am a nurse lecturer who loves to run, cycle and skip in my spare time! I’ve just returned to Scotland after 6 years living in Madrid. During my time in Spain I completed 9 marathons, having previously found running difficult!

For me running and other forms of exercise provide a focus that allows you to release stress, process grief, challenge yourself, fundraise and build confidence (regardless of ability)!

I’m now moving into the world of ultra running with my biggest challenge coming up in June, running the Hebway (156 miles) to raise money for the ‘breast cancer now’ charity! 

I love the mental and physical challenge that endurance events provide, pushing my limits and inspiring/encouraging others to do the same.

This year I'm looking to set a new PB over marathon distance and complete 100 miles at Endure24!

I started running around 35 years ago when my Dad bet me that I could not run a marathon. I have now run around 135 marathons and ultras, trail being my favourites. 

I am not fast and can usually be found mid to back of pack enjoying a day out in the country, chatting to everyone and taking photos.  I love encouraging people to push their boundaries and get so much joy seeing people achieve what they perceived as unreachable.

I try and have at least one BIG challenge/adventure in the diary per year and am looking forward to my 2025 challenge which is the Mt Everest Marathon.

Hi. I'm Chris and I've been running a quite few years now. In the last few years I've gotten more in to ultra running and backyard runs. I have always struggled with fueling, especially gels. Active Root products have helped me fuel my runs and now I run further than ever.

I am a mummy to two, work full time and love to run in my down time. I strength train regularly and also love just being outdoors with my family - walking, cycling and skiing.

I discovered Active Root when training for my first marathon and haven’t looked back.

Ultrarunner and mum of two boys, loves running and being outdoors.

Co founder of Wildheart Runners, a coaching and community business focussing on empowering people to overcome barriers and enjoy running and all the benefits that it brings both physically and mentally.

Guide runner to Felicity and founder of Levengrove Junior Parkrun.

Love competing in the Backyard Ultra and encouraging female participation in this type of event. 

I am a triathlete and runner who loves to push themselves to achieve big goals.

This year I am taking on a half Ironman.

I am a triathlon, running and S&C coach as I love to help others achieve their big goals too.

I am an Ultra Runner and Triathlete living in Inverness. I have been running for more than 10 years but only discovered a true passion for it once I started exploring long distance running around the Scottish Highlands.

This year I’m hoping to do my first 100 miler as well as first half ironman triathlon.
